Knee Bends and Squats

I forget to bend my knees when I reach for something

I have long noticed that mature people tend to bend from their waist instead of instead of bending their knees.

I must move my joints to lubricate them.

If I don’t move my joints to lubricate them them will get tight and they will seam to forget how to relax; and my sense of balance is impaired.

My Feet, ankles and knees all depend on movement for lubrication.

• Each foot is comprised is comprised of 33 joints,26 bones and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments that all work together to bear weight, allow for locomotion, and transmit force. (NIH)
• I need to move these critters to help them stay healthy and flexible.
• As the mature owner of my body, it is a great idea to spend some time each day taking conscious care of the health of my joints.
• Simple movement of these joints can help avoid the pain and discomfort of having joint problems—this includes those precious spinal column members.
• Our bodies don’t wear out, “they rust out.”

Be nice to yourself and help avoid the problems of arthritis and other discomforts.
